Benewah County 4-H, FFA or another Junior Show approved club program to be
eligible to compete.
Benewah County Fair Junior Show and Sale Rules
Junior Show Age divisions.
Bantams: 5 through 7 years of age
Juniors: 8-11years of age
Intermediate: 12-14 years of age
Senior: 15-18 or still in High School
Age is the age of the individual on January 1 of the current fair year.
Exhibitors entering the Junior Show must be enrolled in either Benewah County 4-H, Benewah
County FFA, or a Benewah County Junior Show sanctioned club. Exhibitors must be a bonifide resident of Benewah County, Harrison, Clarkia, Calder or Avery areas.
Exhibitors and Parents are expected to conduct themselves in a responsible and sportsmanlike
manner at all times. Any individual exhibiting inappropriate behavior toward Fair Officials, Judges,
other Exhibitors, other Parents, a Leader or the General Public will face immediate expulsion from
the fair. If an individual sees an exhibitor, parent, or leader exhibiting inappropriate behavior he/she
should approach the barn superintendent first, then a Junior Show Committee Member and a Fairboard Member.
Any Exhibitor who fails to abide by the Fair Rules, Junior Show Rules, or the Code of Ethics will
forfeit all Premiums, “Blue Sky Money”(Blue Sky money is the money that you receive for your animal
above the Floor Price) and Awards as determined by the grievance committee.
The Judge’s decision(s) are final. At no time should a parent, leader or youth approach a judge
during the fair to discuss placing in a class, if so done, it will be grounds for a disqualification and /or
dismissal. If you have questions direct them to the barn superintendent and they will get the answers
or will try to schedule a clinic to address the concerns.
If there is an extenuating circumstance, there is a grievance process that will be initiated as follows: All grievances must be in writing to the Barn Superintendent accompanied by a $25 cash
deposit, which will be forfeited if the grievance is not sustained. Grievances will be reviewed and a
decision rendered by a Grievance Committee consisting of at least 3 barn superintendents and the
Junior Show Committee Officers, within eight hours of receipt. If a barn superintendent is involved
in the grievance he/she will be excused from the grievance committee. All decisions made by the
Grievance Committee will be final.
August 2013

sleeved shirt (wrist length), long pants (ankle length), and shoes appropriate to the species that is
being shown. No open toed shoes. No hats are to be worn in the show ring (except horse).
All Fitting & Showing Classes in Livestock are separated according to the youth’s age; divisions
include Junior, Intermediate, or Senior. Market classes are determined by the weight of the animal
and are determined after all animals are weighed in at the fair.
All Fitting & Showing Classes in Livestock are separated according to the youth’s age; divisions
include Junior, Intermediate, or Senior. Market classes are determined by the weight of the animal
and are determined after all animals are weighed in at the fair.

signed up for 4-H in Benewah County.
All project/educational posters must meet these size limits. Minimum size – 22”X14”

There will be no pounds added to a final weight of a market animal for shrinkage. If there is a
question on weights, the scales will be reset and the animal reweighed, before the animal is removed
from the vicinity of the scales. If an underweight animal would like to be reweighed up to 7 pm on
weigh in day, the participant must inform the weigh master at the time of the initial weigh in. There
will be only two reweighs allowed and no reweigh if the animal is more than 10 lbs. underweight. All
decisions regarding re-weighs will be the sole discretion of the weigh master.
Market Animals whose final weights are above the maximum weight limit of the Benewah County
Junior Show will not be eligible to receive Grand Champion or Reserve Champion Market animal in
that species. This includes market beef, market swine, and market sheep. All underweight animals
will be placed in a feeder division and will not be eligible for Grand Champion or Reserve Champion.
No bulls, boars, bucks, stallions or rams can be exhibited as a Junior Show project including short
scrotum animals.
Only dehorned or polled animals can be entered and shown with the exception of Angora goats,
Jacob Sheep and Boar goats. Any animal having horns or scurs, which are deemed dangerous by
the Junior Show Committee, will be prevented from entering the show/sale ring until the situation is
rectified by a veterinarian.
In the market goat class doelings and wethers of any breed are acceptable. The goats must have
been born after January 1, 2013 to be eligible to participate in the market class.
Youth may weigh-in up to two animals per species in order to have a replacement animal available if needed. At the initial weigh-in, project animals can be designated in on of three ways: primary,
alternate, or family. Primary and alternate animals can only be exhibited by the designated member.
One family animal can be shared by two or more members within their immediate family, provided
that these members have not designated another alternate animal. Therefore, any youth that has
designated a primary and alternate project animal cannot use any other animal (including a family
animal) for a project replacement. The animal that crossed the scale at the final weigh in will be the
August 2013
project animal for the Junior Show.
There is a limit of only one project animal per species or one pen of poultry or rabbit per project.
All animals brought to the fairgrounds must be disease free. Any animals in question will be required to have a veterinary inspection. If your animal becomes sick please consult a veterinarian
before treatment. Removal of the animal may be requested at the veterinarian’s discretion. All vet
costs incurred will be at the owners’ expense. No calming or sedative drugs will be allowed.
All Entries are accepted with the understanding that the Junior Show and Sale Committee in
Benewah County, the Benewah County Fair nor their officers and /or assigns shall be held responsible for any damage or loss of livestock on exhibit or at the sale.
The Benewah County Junior Show will uphold and abide by the Show Ring Code of Ethics. The
Show Ring Code of Ethics is included at the end of the Junior Show section of the Fairbook.
Any animal that cannot be handled safely throughout the fair will not be allowed to compete and/or
enter the sale ring and will be removed at the discretion of the barn superintendent.
To weigh-in your lamb for its final weight at the fair you must remove all of the blankets, coats or
coverings and the lamb must be shorn and completely dry. A single spandex covering may be left on
at the discretion of the Weigh-Master.
All market animals will be weighed in Wednesday, August 14th, 2013 from 8:00 am- 7:00 pm.
Any female sheep not properly identified with a scrapie flack identification tag will not be allowed
to weigh-in (initial or fair), show or sell at the Benewah County Fair.
Each exhibitor must take care of and exhibit his own animals, unless excused by the Junior Show
Committee for reasons that are deemed sufficient, and will be responsible for the care and cleanliness of his/her pen or stalls.
All exhibitors will need to bring their own hay & grain. Bedding will be supplied by the Fairboard.
Pens must be kept clean at all times. If your pen is dirty, your animals unattended or you have
committed any other major infraction of the rules, you will be given one strike (a sticker on your stall
card). If throughout the course of the fair you accumulate 3 strikes, you will be asked to leave the fair
with your animal. If your animal has already sold, you will forfeit your blue sky money (monies bid
above floor price).
The purpose of the Showmanship class is to create more interest in, and better knowledge of,
proper fitting, training and showing of animals. Market, breeding and feeder animals may participate. All training and preparation of the animals during the Show are to be done by the contestants. Each
contestant must show his own animal. Junior, Intermediate and Senior divisions all show separately
in the Fitting and Showing contest and do not compete against each other until the final round for
grand champion showman. Fitting and Showing of one animal from each livestock category a Junior
Show exhibitor enters in the Benewah County Fair is required. All market animals must be fit and
shown unless excused by the appropriate show management. Please keep in mind your club organization’s requirements for fitting & showing your animal. Only one rabbit in a meat pen (or a breeding
rabbit that is part of your market project) need be fit and shown. Market broilers will not be shown in
Fitting & Showing. You may choose to stand by your caged bird and answer the judge’s questions.
The Champion Showman of each species will be entered into the Round Robin Showmanship
class on Friday evening . Classes include beef, swine, sheep, goat, rabbit, poultry and dairy. All

Livestock checks will only be good for 180 days after issue.
The Grand Champion and Reserve Champion Market animals are to be sold through the Junior
Livestock Sale.

(Adapted from the National Show Ring Code of Ethics)
This code of ethics applies to anyone exhibiting animals at the Benewah County Junior Show and
Sale. All classes of livestock offered at the livestock event are included.
The following practices or procedures are unacceptable and are defined as deceptive, fraudulent,
unethical and inhumane in the care, fitting, preparation and showing of all classes of livestock. The
use of any illegal drugs is prohibited. Legal or illegal substances used to phenotypically alter the
appearance of an animal entered in livestock events is prohibited (see Rule #4). Use of illegal drugs
is considered a pre-meditated act!
Furthermore, any information obtained in the practice of illegal alteration of an animal will be
turned over to the proper authorities for prosecution. THIS IS A ONE STRIKE AND YOU ARE OUT
POLICY! Exhibitor will forfeit any premium, awards, or auction proceeds and will be prohibited from
further competition at the Benewah County Junior Show and Sale, as well as being subject to prosecution if proven guilty.
The following is a listing of guidelines all exhibitors must follow to enter livestock at organized
competitive events.
The following is a listing of guidelines all exhibitors must follow to enter livestock in the Benewah
County Junior Show and Sale.
1) All exhibitors must have viable proof of ownership available to prove the length of time the animals have been owned. Market animals (Beef, Sheep, Swine, and Goats) must be owned and
under exhibitors daily care according to established rules and regulations for the livestock show.
This also includes all small market animals (rabbits and poultry). The official ownership date is
the date shown on the bill of sale, unless the animal was bred by the exhibitor, in which calving
or birth records must be shown. Registered breeding livestock must show the exhibitor as the
sole owner of the animal on the breed Association papers or certificates.
2)No exhibitor may show an animal which has previously sold at an auction or sale as a market
animal through another fair, livestock show, whether or not there is an actual change of ownership.
3) Any method used to misrepresent the age of an animal for a class in which it is shown is deceptive and considered illegal. Showing an animal for another individual by claiming ownership in
order to show in a specific livestock class is prohibited. False ownership is illegal.
4) Junior Show exhibitors are expected to care for and groom their animals while at the fair. Adults,
including parents, leaders and Junior Show and Sale members are allowed to physically assist
in the preparation of the animal while at the show only when the safety of the youth exhibitor or
animal is of concern. Verbal instruction is allowed. Any violations of this rule will result in immediate disqualification from the show.
5) Treating an animal internally or externally, with any irritant, counter-irritant, or other substance
used to artificially change the confirmation or appearance of an animal for show is considered
unethical, inhumane and is prohibited. Only approved fitting supplies used as labeled for the
intended use will be allowed. Adding false hair or hair-like material, fleece, or skin at any point,
August 2013
spot or area of the animal’s body is illegal and will result in immediate disqualification. Any liquid
or substance not considered part of an accepted and normal diet for livestock is deemed illegal
and inhumane. For example, the use of alcoholic or carbonated beverage as a drench or filler,
etc.
6) The use of tranquilizers, sedatives, or depressants, which alter the physical or physiological state
of the animal is illegal. Exceptions to this rule would be a licensed, certified veterinarian’s treatment for a recognized disease or injury, or recommendation for tranquilizing breeding animals
in heat that might compromise the safety of others. The drugs must be approved by the Food
and Drug Administration for use in meat producing animals. All exhibitors shall advise show
management of any drugs and/or medications administered to an animal that might be detected
at the time of showing or at meat inspection. The name of the drug, its purpose, the person who
administered the drug, time and date of administration shall be presented to show management
prior to the showing and weighing of the animal. Failure to report this information to the show
management will result in severe penalty and/or disqualification. Any use of drugs or substances
not approved by the Food and Drug Administration is strictly prohibited. All animals entered into
the livestock competition shall be subject to testing for foreign substances that exceed acceptable levels established by the FDA, FSIS, USDA, or EPA. During the livestock events, in case
of animals requiring treatment, all medications shall be administered by a licensed veterinarian
and the livestock show officials shall be notified.
7) Surgery, injection or insertion of foreign material under the skin/or flesh of an animal to change
the natural contour, confirmation or appearance of an animal’s body is illegal. This includes vegetable oil, silicon or other substance used to alter the shape of an animal. Acceptable practices
of physical preparation, which are allowed include clipping of hair, trimming of hooves, dehorning, or removal of ancillary teats.
8) The balancing of an udder by abnormal means that includes the use of a mechanical contrivance or the injection of fluid or drugs, setting the teats and/or occluding (sealing the ends) with a
mechanical contrivance or with the use of chemical preparation is illegal. Treating or massaging
the udder or its attachments with an irritant or counter irritant is prohibited.
9) The use of inhumane fitting, showing and/or handling practices shall not be tolerated. For example, breaking of tails, striking the animal to cause swelling or for bracing purposes, use of an
electrical contrivance, or use of overly severe bits is not acceptable.
10)Direct criticism or interference with the judge, show management, other exhibitors, breed representatives or show officials, during or after the competitive event is prohibited.
11) At the time an animal is sold at auction at the livestock show, the exhibitor shall be held directly
responsible for animals that are rejected at the time of processing due to the presence of foreign
residues. The seller may also be liable for attorney’s fees and civil penalties. Show management may share acceptable intelligence and evidence information with the FDA and USDA. If for
any reason, any part of a meat animal carcass must be removed by the FDA or USDA inspectors,
the market price will be discounted.
12) Show management reserves the right to require animal health certificates. Health inspection
and diagnostic tests may be made before or after the animals are on the livestock show premises
for exhibitor and animal safety, or to inaugurate disease control procedures which may become
necessary in emergencies as determined by animal health officials.
